THE MASERATI MISTRAL

Last of the classic six-cylinder Maseratis, the crisp Pietro Frua-styled Mistral commenced production in 1963. The handsome two-seater was built on a shortened version of the square tube chassis also used by the Sebring and 3500GT, and Maserati offered buyers the choice of Coupe and Spider versions; the former's opening rear window hatch made it a surprisingly practical sporting GT car. A five-speed gearbox and disc brakes were standard equipment, while an automatic transmission, air conditioning, and a limited-slip differential were options. Maserati fitted the Mistral with three iterations of its robust twin cam six-cylinder engine, which traced its lineage back to the legendary 250F Grand Prix car. Most production Mistrals received the 3.7-liter version, while other options being the 3.5-liter or, from 1966, the ultimate 4.0-liter unit, all of which came with Lucas mechanical fuel injection and dual-plug ignition. Production ceased in 1970, by which time a total of 827 Coupes and 123 Spiders had been built.

THE CAR OFFERED

Smartly presented in bright red over a dark red cabin, this Mistral is a desirably equipped coupe with such niceties as the ultimate 4-liter fuel-injected engine, 5-speed manual gearbox, electric windows, and air conditioning. The Frua-penned body is crisp, with attractive brightwork and detailing, and the car sits properly on polished Borrani wheels shod with period-style Michelin tires. The cabin is particularly inviting, with a lovely character to the dark red leather and excellent carpets. Service records on file show that in 2017 mechanical work included replacement brake plumbing, rebuilt calipers, ignition tune, and replacement fuel lines, among other jobs. Boasting sophisticated 60s style and a sonorous race-bred inline-six, this Mistral Coupe is a capable and luxurious Gran Turismo that is certain to shine on rallies like the Copperstate 1000, or with a couple bags tossed in the hatch for a casual weekend tour.
